Question
My child is almost two years old and has been suffering from diarrhea recently. Are there any solutions?
Answer
If your child is almost two years old and has been experiencing frequent diarrhea, it may be due to indigestion. It is recommended to administer oral Shanyao Jianpi Oral Liquid or Simida and other medications to aid digestion. Additionally, reduce the frequency of feeding to allow the baby’s gastrointestinal tract time to rest and increase fluid intake to maintain hydration. If the situation does not improve or worsens, it is advisable to take the child to a doctor immediately for intravenous treatment. When introducing complementary foods, it is suggested to temporarily stop or reduce the addition until the baby’s gastrointestinal tract returns to normal before gradually increasing. Especially avoid giving the baby indigestible foods to prevent exacerbating the diarrhea situation.
